Wound healing – Lung surfactant as an agent for wound treatment

At University of Bremen a new wound healing strategy has been presented: The team of the Wound Repair Unit at the Centre for Biomolecular Interactions Bremen (CBIB) has shown the influence of lung surfactant on keratinocytes and the benefit of these interactions for cell migration and wound resurfacing. Lung surfactants contain phospholipids and surfactant proteins and are used as standard therapy for respiratory distress syndrome in preterm infants.

Optical Clearing – Non-harmful optical clearing of biological samples

There is currently a strongly growing need for methods and chemicals for the preparation of large biological samples for three-dimensional imaging. The invented substance and protocol are of high interest for any supplier or company in the field of microscopy and imaging techniques. The unique selling proposition is that the herewith offered invention constitutes the sole methodology optical clearing of biological samples without use of harmful chemicals combined with high quality fluorescence preservation. The invented substance and protocol is routinely used by the inventors and has thus been shown to be robust for general laboratory usage.
On behalf of the University of Duisburg and Essen, PROvendis offers access to rights for commercial use as well as the opportunity for further co-development, e.g. of a kit. In case of interest we will be pleased to inform you about the patent status.

An ocean observatory for the Red Sea

The Marine Environmental Research Center established jointly by KAUST and Saudi Aramco is the first oceanic observatory capable of monitoring the Red Sea.

Physical separation of gold – dielectrophoretic separation of metal particles from mixtures of particles

The present invention relates to a plant and a procedure for separating gold or other metal particles from a mixture of particles by applying dielectrophoresis. The physical separation method specifically separates metals, e.g. gold, from a suspension. This is accomplished by a special configuration of electrodes allowing for the creation of an electric field which is selective to metallic particles. The new method replaces environmentally hazardous cyanide leaching almost completely and thus considerably reduces the amounts of the chemicals that need to be applied.
